NEW FEATURES

I. Payment Tools

1.StripeThe default behavior would select the first address field on your form.Users can now select what address to use as the billing address, if they have multiple address fields on the form.When 'none' is selected the first address field will be use.

2. Paypal 2.1 . You can now Add a Paypal Transaction ID Number. For example, if your payment field's tag ismyProducts,such as shown below, the tag to retrieve the seller transaction ID will be {myProducts:transactionid}.

You may place this tag anywhere on your form's email alert (yes, even on the subject line).

Here's a sample result:

You probably must be aware that CheckBoxes already had the ability to set a maximum selection of optionsWell, you asked, we heard! You can now set minimum number of selections!

VI. UploadsImages : Decide to whether show a download prompt or show the images right on your browser

The default value setting on Upload File buttons is "Yes" to show a download prompt
